Marty/Patty, I just spoke with Trish, and she is scheduled to arrive at Dulles late this afternoon, early evening.

She is unavailable tomorrow morning, but could support a meeting late tomorrow afternoon. Marty, the AARM is tomorrow.

Patty, you are correct, the paper distributed today is the working group paper for the PLE discussion on longterm cleanup criteria.

The only paper NRC is working on is the re-entry criteria around Fukushima. My understanding was that EPA staff was hoping to align the two approaches to send a consistent message, which may be the impetus behind the request to compare the two documents.

After checking with the NSS, they are unaware of a Deputies meeting tomorrow; it may be a meeting for just one agency. I hope I didn’t confuse anyone.

Marty and Trish – the message below causes a bit of confusion – at least to me.

The EPA Re-Entry Guidance mentioned below and attached – was developed after a Feb. meeting on the Principal Level Exercise.

It was developed by EPA. Not sure if NRC has officially commented.

It was for use in the US. There is also Re-Entry guidance for Fukushima that was developed by NRC for use in Japan.

One could ask why NRC was developing the re-entry guidance in the first place?

At first blush – there are major differences between the NRC developed draft and the EPA developed draft.

Of course – there is another effort ongoing – separate but somewhat related – that is the interagency review process on the EPA PAGs. Commissioner Magwood and I have been talking to senior management in DOE – to see if we could get some alignment within the federal family.would benefit from a few minutes with both of you to get a better understanding of the lay of the land here.

This morning, the DHHS lead at the White House sent me the attached EPA draft guidance on population re-entry and return, along with a request to compare the EPA and NRC versions in preparation for a White House meeting tomorrow.

I checked and was given the ok to share it here at NRC. Although the NRC version is not yet releasable, perhaps it will be later today.

I would appreciate you sharing this message and attachment with Trish at the earliest. I am copying ET and LIA on this.
